CHICAGO. Oct. 15.--Wneat remained steady
to-day, although cables were the poorest of the
week, making the foreign demand limited for
| spot and poor for futures. Trading was lacking
| in animation, and fluctuations We're Within the
narrow range of sc. Closing prices were almost
identical with the last figures of yesterday. As
usual there was speculation rs 70 the next visl-
| BILE supply figures, and il claimed that the
| wheat market closed firm on the strength OF
| probable increase of only 100000 bushels, but
| the posted figures of the week would seem to
| indicate that the estimate far too small
| Statistics were little better to-day, as clear
ances at Atlantic ports reached rs, 900 bushels
and there a falling Off in receipts at several
initial points. The heaviest receipts We're at
Chicago, Milwaukee, minneapolis and Duluth
where the aggregate was about $4,000 bushels
Local range to-day was November at 101aGJ
7O3sc, December ia 721sc, May '13sG17i9sc
The closing prices for the day and week Were:
October 691bc, November 7034c, December 721sc,
May 7116c. A leading operator in corn was
seller again to-day, and there was slight de-
cline in year futures, May losing but point and
closing at 4416c, or &c under the price on last
Saturday. Receipts are larger than estimated
and expected arrivals Tor Monday showed con
siderable increase. October and November
closed at Al G4i1Ec under the price of one week
ago. There wa very light trading, and no out
side orders. Oats opened little steaGer and
for October steady market was maintained,
but other deliveries became dull and easy.
Prices remained within yesterday range.
Provisions were weaker, and The volume of
business was small. The weakness was caused
by heavy receipts of hogs. Holders of produce
did not appear anxious to press their property
on the market, as by so doing they would nave
to accept materially lower prices. Lard was the
weakest article on the list, and long f'tlres de
clined 50L716C October was held firm at IS 25
